On a lighter note...

Well sorry, I didn't mean to get all heavy or anything! I find venting my spleen once in a while quite cathartic...and no doubt I'm not the only person who finds the whole online friendship ambiguity difficult at times (ever tried to explain to someone who doesn't use the net who those people you feel you 'know' from the internet are?)



Anyway enough of that for now.

We wagged kinder to try to arrest the cold that is going around the house. I spent most of my time in the kitchen making chicken noodle soup for lunch, stew for tomorrow evening, and homemade fish and chips and coleslaw for dinner.




In between I did the usual settling of the baby. She is sooo teething...gah...



I never managed to make a dent in the housework - but that is life at home with 3 kids 5 and under...I really do think if they are fed and alive at the end of the day I am doing well (clean is a bonus).

My kids eat well. They certainly don't miss out on anything, although I do try to avoid most conventional 'lollies' and crap. Plenty of time for all that. I love that they consider this slushie a treat.





Excitement of the day (look away if you have an aversion to dead critters) was finding this fellow. This guy was moving. Dead and moving. You know what that means. He has been shovelled and quadruple bagged along with the larvae who made him home.

I'm so sorry about that picture folks. Can you tell I like to share?

You'll be grateful I didn't take a photo of the flipside...double ewwwww.

And yeah Sam - I'm really hoping there aren't too many of them!!
